    I love asparagus - it's my favourite vegetable with the exception of samphire - think that's a vegetable (as opposed to seaweed?)

    I'll see your £30 and raise you £50 :eek:

    my fav too. Never tried samphire. One for the bucket list.
    I bet you arent as skint as me!!

    Did i mention i crushed someones bumper on mon while doing some voluntary work at a church school?

    Turns out i am now a criminal since this counts as using the car for work. !!!!!!?

    The only up side is my excess is £850 so won't use in sewer ants anyway. ( thanks Mr Pratchett ).
